Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Canadian pioneers of deathcore return with 'Shadow Work,' a record that reaffirms their commitment to the technical and percussive roots of the genre. The album features their signature dual-vocal attack and 'pig squeal' techniques, integrated with beatdown grooves and complex death metal structures. It serves as a bridge between the foundational sounds of the mid-2000s Montreal scene and a more modern, dissonant technicality.
